    The criticism about lack of configuration window adjustment for 120 DPI is valid and I don't know why the developer can't fix a simple glitch like that. But otherwise Executor is better than the competition.

    Looks terrible and is scarcely usable/configurable when using 120 DPI.

    Let the ad-hominem attacks begin.

    This is freaking awesome. I thought I'd never need to replace SlickRun then I found this. With skepticism I downloaded it and was immediately blown away. I wasn't just ready to give up on SlickRun right away, but with the friendly nature of Martin, the creator and his diligent work of squashing bugs, improvements and new features, SlickRun was soon history. R.I.P. SlickRun, you got Executed! :D

    This is just a wonderfull piece of work!!

    I'm using it for a couple of days now.
    Enjoying it very much.

    Designed to make life easier, and with SUCCES.
    No more searching, the search is really over.
    I created shortcuts to all my frequently used tools / maps / websites etc.

    I have access to all of my tools / maps / websites / etc, by just a single click (hotkey). No more need to search for my goodies on my "well filled" desktop and/or "massive" start menu and/or 1.2TB files system.
    It really makes my life easier!

    The program runs like sunshine on my XP SP2 system.
    Couldn't detect any bugs, the program seems to be stable.

    Props to the creator of this masterpiece.
